Old Cedar County Cabin Believed Found Atop Mitzner Farm
A pioneer log cabin on the Mitzner farm two miles northwest of Tipton is believed by Cedar County records to be the oldest structure in the county. Erected in 1842 by Benjamin Fraseur after purchasing land from the U.S. government, it began as a one room dwelling with hand hewn logs and a rough board floor, later expanded during the Civil War era. The Fraseur lineage continued through Lichtenwalter and finally to the present Mitzner family, now sixth generation on the Tipton farm.
